LORRAINE Kelly has spoken of the effect Tramadol had on her following a serious accident – the same drug which led Ant McPartlin to admit himself to rehab over the weekend.

The host, 57, suffered a nasty cut to her thigh after falling from a horse and being trodden on at a charity event in 2012. She was rushed to hospital and underwent surgery before being prescribed the powerful painkiller.

Lorraine Kelly has spoken of the effect the drug Tramadol had on her following a serious accident

Speaking on today’s episode of Lorraine, she said: “We remember, Hilary, when I had my really bad accident and I was on Tramadol, and it is seductive. I actually wanted the pain, because it makes everything fantastic… but your head’s full of cotton wool, it’s horrible and it’s not real. It’s a horrible thing.”
